Gign

A Gitignore Generator

Table of Contents

Examples

```bash

This is how you going to use it probably most of the time

gign rust linux -a # -a short for --append

It's smart!

This will expand to python, jetbrains and linux

gign pyton jjetbrainz linus > .gitignore

Append to the repository root-level .gitignore automatically

gign --append haskell

Do not automatically resolve unknown templates

gign --append --strict macos

error: template 'macos' not found, did you mean 'global:macOS'?

Ignore all javascript related templates

gign $(gign list javascript) node > .gitignore

Search for template with fzf and use it

gign $(gign list | fzf) > .gitignore ```

see gign list to show all available templates

Install

Using Cargo

cargo install gign

Custom templates

By default, templates are taken from https://github.com/github/gitignore

To add custom template just create [name].gitignore file inside gign where directory.

Files inside folders will be prefixed with the parent folder name (except for the root templates).

For example, if you have custom.gitignore file inside extras/ folder, you can use it like this:

```bash gign --strict extras:custom

or

gign extras:custom

or

gign custom ```

| Location | Strict Name | |--------------------------------|-----------------| | custom.gitignore | custom | | extras/custom.gitignore | extras:custom | | extras/misc/custom.gitignore | misc:custom |
